Study Notes
Thunderstorm Avoidance
- Avoid thunderstorms by a distance of 10 nautical miles when the temperature is -5°C.
Large Aircraft
- A large aircraft is defined as one with a maximum certificated takeoff weight of 5700kg or 12566 pounds.
IFR Flight with Communication Failure
- In the event of communication failure during an IFR flight in VMC conditions, set the transponder to code 7600 and fly visually, landing at the nearest airport as soon as possible.
Black Hole Illusion
- The black hole illusion can cause pilots to fly an approach too low.
Hypoxia and Smoking
- Smokers are more prone to hypoxia because carbon monoxide (CO) prevents oxygen from getting into the bloodstream.
IFR Protection in Case of Communication Failure
- In the event of communication failure, IFR protection is provided for 30 minutes.
Takeoff and Landing Requirements for Night Flights
- To carry passengers at night, a pilot must have completed 5 takeoffs and landings in the past 6 months.
Crew Member Requirements
- To be a crew member on an aircraft, a pilot must have completed 3 takeoffs and landings in the past 90 days.
Advantages of Electrical Radar
- Electrical radar can provide information that is blocked by mountains.
Advantages of TS Detector
- A TS detector can provide information about weather systems that are located over mountains.
High Altitude Training
- High altitude training requires flying above 13,000 feet above sea level (ASL).
